Glaringly obvious we will never win anything with Jesus and Nketiah up front,
Those two up front, then we have the triumvirate of Jorghino, Havertz and Viera. We finally got rid of Xhaka and now look where we are. I could weep......Havertz is going to be the biggest waste of money ever, there are other contenders, but the amount is going to win it for him. 65mil :shock: :shock:

And all the while ESR could possibly have developed into exactly what we need, that these 3 plonkers are never going to give us.

Odegaard is not the signing of the century :lol:

Arteta is far away from being an elite manager.

we are not as good as we think we are.

We fucked away 65 mil in the summer on Havertz while ignoring the need for a top striker, embarrassing.



Do you know havertz was better than odeeargod, nketieh and vieira today ? I'll slate havertz as much as the next guy, but he worked harder than those other c.unts :censored:
Augie he did f all. He can't hold onto it and is powder puff getting outmuscled every time and makes no effort. I dont thinknhe can physically run.

Yes Eddie was worse. Viera can at least hold on to it. Oderaggrd was poor and simply didn't get into it at least he pressed. Unlike havertz or eddie

That was fucking awful !!

Awful display
Awful to watch.

Eddie should never wear the Arsenal shirt again. If you thought Xhaka was poor he was 1000 x better than Eddie will ever be.
Stop Midz mate. NO ONE is as shit or as stupid as Lobotomy Clive. :lol:

Just proves how crucial Rice is to this time. That second 45 minutes brought out all out leaderless traits when he was off. Crowd sensed it too because they went flat

Being marginally better than 3 others who were utter crap is a pretty low bar.

Yep. Without him and partey we are fucked. Zilch in thr middle. Eleneny would be better than jorginho at least he's mobile. Zinchenko could work there but we have no left back now tierneys gone.

I know I will, BUT I truly NEVER want to see Nketiah in an Arsenal shirt again.

Odegaard went missing (again)

Havertz!? Tried yes, but he is NOT Good Enough Nor Ever Will Be!

Thanks a Bunch Arteta and Co You just wasted an Opportunity to put it to those ScummyCUNTS
and you haver spoilt my Week before it has even begun; Yes we might have lost the game, but when considering the Chances we had to Bury theCUNTS and we Blew It!

Jesus? A very good player but NOT a Striker - he panics in front of goal - He has the Open Goal and Blasted it down Blackstock Rd :banghead:

As all have already said today made it OBVIOUS that we NEED a proper Striker because Nketiah is Lazy, pointless Baggage


Makes my Fuckin' Blood Boil! :banghead: :banghead: :cry: :cry: :suicide:

Don't agree. Not today anyway. Rice was very quiet in that first half. He did very little. We were poor in the first half too. I said at half time we needed Rice to step up in the second half. Unfortunately he didn't get the opportunity.

But as good as Rice can be on occasion, even him at his best is not enough to overcome the amount of poor players we have.

We have deep problems with our team and the wider squad and all of it comes down to Arteta.

Like in the late Wenger years, we have the nucleus of a good side but it's missing too many key parts and the manager either can't or won't see that.

Stick a bid in for Ivan Toney and see what he can do up front from January onwards. Nothing seemed to work today after about half an hour and yes, you get these days but with Nkethiah up front, there is very little chance of a moment of magic. It just limits things too much.

Thought we lost the physical battle all over the pitch
Losing all the 50/50’s and second balls too.

Hardly created anything got an OG and a penalty ( nailed on, despite Neville crying about it )

Maddison ran the show

We look a shadow of last seasons team so far, by the time it “clicks” we might be 15 points behind City ( if it ever does)

Oh and Raya’s just as bad as Ramsdale with the ball when under pressure by the looks of it, lots of kicks out for a throw.

We will do well for top 4 this year at this rate city leagues ahead, scousers too and brighton maybe.

What this should have been is a 3 0 victory that burst the scum love in and put there season in tailspin.

That what's worse for me. We should have destroyed them in the first half. They didn't get themselves back in it through good play. We let them back in. Was compleltey self inflected through laziness, attitide and casualness, ignoring the team selection issues.

Now the love fest for big fat ange and maddsion goes on.
Yet no one calling out how poor we have been and let them back in.

They were better than us today. On paper we should mop the floor with them. They played their game, we played ours, but it looked like they wanted it more, we'll probably beat them at theirs using today as motivation but we'll be out of the title race by then, back to qualifying for cl every year, citeeh learnt from their slow start last season, it's a race for the minors.
